T&T players gutted, says captain

PORT-OF-SPAIN, Trinidad (CMC)

Captain of Trinidad and Tobago's senior Women's football team, Maylee Attin-Johnson, has lamented her side's failure to qualify for next year's FIFA Women's World Cup in Canada.

The Trinidad and Tobago footballers lost 1-0 to Ecuador in the second leg of their play-off at the Hasely Crawford Stadium on Tuesday night.

A number of players have been visibly affected by the loss, including Ahkeela Mollon, who was unable to breathe and was rushed away by ambulance, while goalkeeper Kimika Forbes sobbed uncontrollably after conceding the goal which denied her team's dream of creating history.

"We still did not accomplish what we set out to accomplish. We are very much disappointed in ourselves," said Attin- Johnson.

Both teams battled to a goalless draw full time before Monica Quinteros converted in the first minute of extra time to ensure the South Americans advanced.

Rodney is Antigua's new cricket chief

ST JOHN'S, Antigua (CMC):

Former national cricketer Leon Rodney is the new president of the Antigua & Barbuda Cricket Association (ABCA) following elections on Tuesday.

Rodney was installed unopposed, replacing Zorol Barthley, who opted not to seek re-election.

The new executive, which includes eight new members, has been elected amid concerns about the declining state of cricket in the Leeward Islands.

The Leeward Islands have lost all three matches played thus far in the WICB Professional Cricket League (PCL) and currently occupy the cellar position on the points table.
